Funny, wise and original
— Ashley Pharoah

Kendal Acts Up is my first novel. Recent published short stories include Unprecedented (how Covid made me learn about nature), The Death Cafe is Closed (LISP 2024 shortlist) and Risk Assessment (Parracombe Prize shortlist). Last year, The Cook’s Tale monologue was performed by Treehouse Theatre (almost as thrilling as winning a BBC schools competition in the 1970s!)

After the pandemic, I quit my job as a charity fundraiser, to write, snack and play pickleball.

Who is Ros Huxley?

“Ros Huxley's Kendal is an outsider, irreverent, self-serving and hilarious. Shove the dishes and the deadlines aside and make way, you won't be disappointed!”

 Carla Jenkins, Raw Writing

"Ros Huxley’s debut novel is not afraid to play against the stereotype. Kendal Acts Up is warm and humorous, and it manages to entertain while being unafraid to confront our prejudices and ask some serious and very topical questions about aging”

Vesna Goldsworthy, FRSL, author of Iron Curtain, Monsier Ka, Gorsky.

“A complete delight and the chaotic, mesmerising Kendal Tudge is a Jurassic Coast Bridget Jones”

Ashley Pharoah, screenwriter Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes.

“Ros Huxley’s Kendal is an outsider, irreverant, self-serving and hilarious. Shove the dishes and the deadlines aside and make way, you wont be disappointed!
